Why do we waste so much time on price, Indian friends?

I understand it is Indian culture to do everything slowly, and to have min. cost, but when I tell you this is the best possible price, you have to believe it, especially when you are calling me brother.

What does that 1 or 2% help, if we have to waste extra two months or more time on this? Time is non-cost in India?

Goodness me. I am f*cking crazy to hear this for the 1001st time "Pls give me best price"!

Slow..haha...very slow..

when somebody tell you "one second", it means "ten minutes", and when they tell you "one hour later", it means you wiill meet him in the afternoon or tomorrow....

I always wonder whether they'll contact us again after a few days,
In one way ,they do their own work, in another way, so many suppliers contact them.
Whether they 'll still remember us when they need our products.

India market always go likes this: lowest price, biggest quantity. So, just think about it, you can handle shi market or not.
I got a lot of things in this market. Very good market share, also, not bad margin. I got very good friends, they all are indians.But i really like them and working very well with them. The most important thing is we can understand each other.
I travelled to india lot of times, although the city and the country not very well,but we are businessman,we are not politician. It is true, indian always argue with you on pricing, market goes like that and life goes like that.
If you can do it, then do it. Can not, the give up it.If you wanna get something in this market, ask you yourself and your team be ready.
